Hello,

Today, with nothing better to do, I copied all my set purchases from a • chart
of graph paper into Microsoft Pocket Excell on my HP 32O LX (WindowsCE). I
did a quick column sum for parts number and cost and came up with the
following:

Total Sets: 131
Total Parts: 10 587
Total Cost: $3 471.61 (CDN)

Cool. I have been working on this lately. Hope to finish today.

I've been working on this, but I buy sets faster than I can get them into my
system. What is currently entered into my system (which may be less than
half of my collection, and doesn't include parts lots bought off eBay, nor
many of the sets bought off eBay which didn't come with boxes):

  Total Sets:     623
  Total Parts:    109973
  Total Minifigs: 1274

It especially doesn't include the tons of minifig lots I've bought, I've
probably bought 500-1000 minifigs off eBay. I don't have price data entered,
so don't know how much I've spent.

Geez!  You must have a big house or a lot of storage space to display all that
Lego.  How do you handle that financially?  I've been trying to keep my total
lego value under $500 because well...this might sound silly but there ARE
other things than Lego.

(...) ..... Er..... Um...... under $500 total? That would put me back to 1979, back when my collection had 4 digits in the total parts count. Gary Istok (24 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
